the breakfast had many options and was acceptable for what i needed that morning.

my room clearly needed an update. the bathroom was small, and i found loose fittings everywhere. also, i didnt get any bath mat, so the floor was slippery after my shower.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. The breakfast offered many choices and the quality was excellent.. Free parking was available at the front.

My room was far from the entrance. There was no lift, and it was a long walk to my room. The pillows were hard and uncomfortable.

rusted shower hose no online notice

The staff at reception were pleasant and cute.

The shower hose had crystallized and rusted, so i had to hold the showerhead to get water. This was quite disappointing. i noticed a lot of work was happening, but there was no notice about refurbishments online, frustrating. i could have avoided staying here if i had known.
